China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism Thursday required the whole system to intensify regulations on salient problems in culture and entertainment.

Culture and tourism administrative organs at all levels and public cultural institutions were asked at a video conference to fully implement requirements on the entertainment industry and impose harsher punishments against rule violations.

Regular training should be established for the industry, and routine supervision should improve, the ministry said.
